it's one thing to serve your country in a war, shoot people dead, etc...and be shot at. it's something quite different to not participate. read all about a REAL HERO who chose not to participate at the following address. i think it takes far more courage to be a person of peace, than somebody who shoots people, and drops bombs from above. what do you think?

P.S. i don't think george w. bush ever saw any combat action during any war.

SPILT MILK...
my blog is me. it is intended to share myself, and my life with everybody, in hopes that i may be of help and inspiration. if we are ever going to have peace in our world, then we must stop all this violence.
My Dearest of Friends,
Today I want to share with you my diary entry. I know we all face innumerable challenges in our lives. Some of us face cancer, divorce, a broken hip, financial troubles, wacky families, illness, heartache, rear-end problems, etc...
I don’t intend this to be a downer. I want it mostly to be about spilt milk. When we have a mess, we simply clean it up, and move on. This morning I faced a little bit of spilt milk. I walked out to my car to find that somebody had completely smashed out the back window. I cannot analyze why this happened. I can only suspect that somebody has far too much anger, hate, fear, paranoia, and sadness in their heart, and in their life. They may even be mentally ill. It is not for me to determine why I am the victim. My job is to clean up the spilt milk, and move on, and continue to be Frank Landfield. I have never smashed out anybody’s rear car window, and I never will. These acts are by people who are ultimately crying out for help. We seem to live in a very violent time, especially since November of 2000. I think a lot of people are very angry, hurt, and disappointed, and haven’t a clue what to do about it, or how to make things better. And so, perhaps smashing out a window is a kind of symptom. As they say in Hawaii, “no rain, no rainbows”. We must all face rain. Some of us have even learned to love it! Of course this was a very cowardly and childish act. People that do these things always come in the middle of the night, no doubt to hide their face, shame and fear. In a way, I feel sorry for the person or persons who did this, because I think they really need serious help. As for me, I’ll get the window replaced, AND put some brand new stickers on it. We can not and must not allow anybody to frighten us from being who we are. Our enlightenment and peace depend on our love for, and commitment to, non-violence. One day, perhaps even in our lifetime, we really will see an end to war, hate, anger, fear, and violence. Until then, every time somebody spills my milk, I’ll just clean it up.
I love you all very much. Peace.

GOD HAS SPOKEN!
i applaud the UCC for getting it right. it's about time a church supports real equal rights for everybody. god has personally told me many times that She supports gay marriage.
"The million-strong United Church of Christ (UCC) has become the first major US Christian denomination to come out in support of gay marriage.
The UCC's general synod passed a resolution affirming "equal rights for couples regardless of gender".
THANK YOU UCC! BRAVO!

It is NOT worth it!
just when you THINK you've heard it all...
"Like most Americans, I see the images of violence and bloodshed. Every picture is horrifying and the suffering is real," Bush said, according to excerpts released ahead of time by the White House. "It is worth it."
no, mr. bush, it is NOT worth it!

THANK YOU NORMAN MAILER
Norman Mailer
God's Chosen Envoy for America
The following is just for the sake of it -- I want to feed the maw of the blog:
In the wake of all the fluvial funereal obsequies that the media attached to Ronald Reagan's earthly departure, I felt obliged to remark that he had been the most overrated president in American history and the second most ignorant. Then I added -- how could I not? -- guess who is the most ignorant? Half the audience applauded; the other half were outraged and groaned in true patriotic pain. Since George W. is not only a horse's ass, but vain and platitudinous to boot, it can hardly escape us that he is also serving (with all due inner incandescence) as God's chosen envoy for America.
THANK YOU NORMAN MAILER! I AGREE!

RAPTURE!
according to my dictionary, rapture = "a euphoric transcendent state in which somebody is overwhelmed by happiness or delight, and unaware of anything else". by this definition, i'm in rapture every time i have a great BM.
i'm hearing a lot about "the rapture" these days. people feel it's their obligation to tell me about it. just for the record, IT'S NOT!
apparently it's on the way, but hasn't it always been? we are now going through "the dark time", a period of great difficulty, confusion, and hardship, and THEN we'll have this rapture shit. i guess it's a kind of "heaven on earth". whatever!
i certainly cannot argue about "this dark time". our economy is shit; we're in record debt; we're in an endless, illegal, immoral, unethical, moronic war; our leaders are fools; our education system is a bloody shame; people are starving to death in record numbers; worldwide disease is rampant; our environment is being raped and plundered; need i continue? so who wouldn't want a little rapture?! but isn't it rapture walking on the beach? watching birds? making love? enjoying a fine meal? mentoring and volunteering? helping those in need? blogging? and on and on. maybe there really is NO rapture? maybe heaven really is here on earth? maybe some people, or most people, just don't get it? what do you think? do you think?
rapture? well, i've just had an all-time great BM, so i'm already there! thank you very much.

GOD BLESS IRAQ!
why do i only see bumper stickers that say, "GOD BLESS AMERICA"? i thought we were bringing peace, freedom, and democracy to iraq, and all her people? should there not be bumper stickers that say, "GOD BLESS IRAQ", and "GOD BLESS THE IRAQI PEOPLE"? i did see one bumper sticker that read, "GOD BLESS EVERYBODY". that one i liked. aren't we being just a bit selfish with our bumper stickers? well, maybe i'll see some more christian bumper stickers soon.

OUR GREATEST FEAR...
despite what i read, hear, see, feel, and know, i must disagree with 99% of the people on planet earth when they declare that george w. bush IS our greatest fear. we simply cannot give him that. we'll give him number two instead. he's our 2nd greatest fear. our number one greatest fear is fear itself. no doubt you've heard this before. we fear so many silly things in our minute lives. in my forthcoming book, "fear clear", i detail EXACTLY what you should fear, AS WELL AS what you should NOT fear. here are some examples.
you should NOT fear: people with a different skin color than you. the truth. love. peace.
you SHOULD FEAR: guns. the fact that america has more guns per person than any other country. politicians who tell you to fear certain things. karl rove. the insane debt this administration is creating. your grandchildren's future.
you should NOT fear: those who tell you to shut up. speaking the truth. standing up for equal rights. the world wide web.
i speak with people each and every day who tell me of their great fear for the future. i am comforted to know that not everybody is blind. after nearly five years of this "BUSHIT", people are waking up. i'm saddened americans took longer to see this than most of the rest of the world. but perhaps americans did see this, and were simply to fearful and ashamed to say anything?
people are talking now. people are suffering, and dying. the great collective wisdom of planet earth is shouting at us, and we can no longer pretend to be deaf. every morning i wake up fooling myself that i've seen it all, and every day this shameful administration reminds me i have not. in 1776 there was a revolution. you may have heard and/or read something about it. in 2006 there will be another one. it's beginning now. i sincerely hope you'll be a part of it.

remember...
on this memorial day, it is indeed important to remember those who gave their lives. it is also VERY IMPORTANT to remember the following:
war is NEVER the answer or solution. there is NEVER a war winner. there is no honor in killing. in fact, those who participate in war, are in my opinion, losers. would jesus have made war? would the pope serve in active duty on the front lines? remember "thou shall not kill"?! remember also that george w. bush NEVER served in our armed forces. for that matter, i'll bet he NEVER scrubbed a toilet, mopped a floor, or ever cleaned his own house. we leave such duties, along with fighting and dying in wars, to the poorest and most underprivileged americans. remember too that benjamin franklin, thomas jefferson, and france created this country, and are ashamed to see where we've brought ourselves. keep in mind that we still live in a democracy, and you really can make a HUGE DIFFERENCE in november of 2008, and all the elections between now and then. the nonsense and insanity that has gone on since november of 2000, and continues to go on, will most definitely affect our grandchildren. teach them NOW how to deal with it. history will most assuredly identify the truth of this shameful, and illegal administration. you are a living witness who must NEVER let people forget the truth. so remember, we don't have to make war to have peace. i just hope we figure this out before we're extinct.
